Lately, people have been talking about parallel processing and sharding again—it’s quite lively. It feels like everyone just assumes that “once throughput goes up, the user experience will take off.” But my first thought is still: where do assets come in from, how do they withdraw/exit, and when withdrawing will they get stuck on the bridge… Anyway, I don’t really follow the market, and if something goes wrong, I’ll definitely stick with it all the way to the end.

Seeing new L1/L2 incentives to boost TVL, it’s not surprising that longtime users complain about “mining, selling, and withdrawing.” Liquidity comes in fast and goes out even faster; in the end, it often tests whether the withdrawal path is smooth, whether cross-chain messages are reliable, and who will take the blame if there’s a rollback or a pause. The more they promote “one-click cross-chain / seamless sharding,” the more nervous I get—I treat simplicity as a trap. First, figure out the worst-case scenario, then decide whether to get on board.
